Senshin

A highlight of the lunch set is the combination of beef tendon and vegetables simmered together with seasonal side dishes that pair well with rice. One visitor described a meal of beef tendon simmered with root vegetables, firefly squid and spring cabbage in a grilled-and-marinated dish, and seared cherry salmon and bonito. They enjoyed each dish and were able to have another serving of rice cooked in a clay pot. On another visit, the set included bonito sashimi, beef tendon and vegetables simmered together, and octopus dressed with nameko mushrooms. The menu reportedly changes with ingredient availability, making the dishes on offer part of the seasonal appeal. Some reports note that the lunch set is available only on certain days, so check ahead when planning a visit.

Diners who chose the lunch course have reported enjoying a sequence of dishes including a small appetiser, soup, sashimi and grilled items, as well as spring ingredients such as urui (a wild mountain vegetable), tara-no-me (angelica tree shoots) and firefly squid. The set is a relaxed way to enjoy seasonal sides with rice, while the course offers a progression of dishes; the choice depends on what you are looking for.

Some visitors have enjoyed their meal at the counter, and others have written about choosing a dinner course. Senshin is described as a calm, intimate Japanese restaurant, and reservations are recommended for dinner. If you are planning to go for the lunch set, it may also be worth checking its serving days and reservation arrangements in advance.
